In this weeks Wigan Observer Kris Radlinski says his phone is always switched on if Mathers needs any help or advice .
What do you think is it just a lack of confidence or a lack of the basic skills needed to be a top full back

Seeing Chris is now on the coaching team he should be with Mathers on the park never mind on the phone add to that Vievers is there 2 Mathers is hardly short of FB's to ask questions 2 is he?

It may seem a long time ago now but there's no doubt in my mind anyway that Mathers had some storming games for Leeds at fullback.

Personally I think its more a confidence issue than anything else. If Radders can help him in any way then great, but I think its certainly too late to save his Wigan career. You can't help but wonder where he'll end up in 2010, given his recent form and injuries. I do have a feeling he will get another shot in a Wigan jersey somewhere down the line this season so hopefully he can get put himself in the shop window then.

the lad is never a top flight full back. im sorry but it wouldnt matter if radlinski, sullivan, aubert and lockyer gave him advice, he still wouldnt be my first choice No1.

I Rather have Kris playing friday than Mathers, bad knees and all.

get those slippers warmed

Mathers has lost the supporters and all his confidence, to recover both would take a superhuman special effort, or a match winning 100m try v Saints at Wembley.

The irony behind losing the fans, is he is one of our most passionate players about the jersey and knows what it means to play for Wigan.

I will never understand why it didnt work.

The two injuries have destroyed all his confidence..hes more worried about getting hurt than dropping the ball

I feel sorry for the lad

can we not get Paul McKenna to hypnotise him, so when he hears 'conquest of paradise' he pretends to be Radders instead?

Mathers was going to text Radlinski last week, but he dropped his phone.
